Background colour gradients

I am trying to put a gradient background onto a web site that I am
designing. ie white on the left of the screen graduating to black on the
right hand side.
The problem is that the only way I can find to do it is to place a graphic
on the page background. This works fine for the designed resolution ie
800x600 but of course looks horrible at any other resolution as the image
is a fixed size in pixels. Is there anyway to make the actual page
background graduate accross a page so that resolution doesn't matter ie it
always looks the same?
